    Thinks this is the name of the stuff but any other alternative would be good.

    Basically to stick foam pvc together what does everyone use, where to buy and how much?

    Cheers

    Use pvc pipe adhesive. You can get it from DIY shops. S*** to an army blanket!

    I’ve never used Tensol cement. Is that one where you have to mix 2 parts together?

    The glue I referred to above is excellent, it’s what is used to glue guttering and other pvc plumbing pipes. I’ve used it for years and it sticks foamex very well.

    Tensol is specific to acrylic fabrication and isnt really suitable for other stuff.
    You get various “grades” , some meant for cast , some meant for extruded , some meant for “filling” and some meant for flood joining.
